Cumbrian Coastal Route 200 - Section 2 - Furness Peninsula and Island Hopping

About

This is a landscape of contrasts - the soaring red sandstone ruins of Furness Abbey, the industrial heritage of Barrow and the protected dunescapes of the coast, linked by a breath-taking journey along the Coast Road (A5087). Why not round off your visit with a spot of island hopping?

Religious history and industrial heritage are two intriguing themes to be explored in Furness, both of which are set amongst unique habitats and coastal islands which offer respite to Grey Seals and Natterjack Toads. 

Section 2 begins in the vibrant market town of Ulverston which has a regular programme of festivals and events to enjoy. 

From Ulverston, you will head out along the Coast Road (A5087) towards Barrow-in-Furness for a brilliant scenic journey taking in the spectacular nature reserves of Roa Island and Walney Island. 

Section 2 continues to wind along the coast through Millom before finishing in the pretty fishing village oh Haverigg. 

Head home from here or continue your journey onto Cumbria's west coast.
